"Shock and Horror"

I was thinking of writing something funny today, but those guys have done it again. Though nowhere near to the 9-11 all-time high score, it has certainly shaken the Londoners up. Numerous blasts within a short time period and hundreds of casualties. What is sad is that such an incident had occurred despite precautions put in place since the Big One. I really cannot understand why and how some people could ever consider killing and maiming hundreds of civilians just to get their way, be it in war or terror. Anyway, that is the domain of those involved, though I can say for sure that such actions are without honour.

It's such a shame that something like this should have ever happened. *sigh* Anyway, went out with a friend today and she was introducing me to another MLM firm. After a brush with one, I'd figured that MLMs were just another way for a company to make huge bucks while having a large number of people slogging at the bottom. I don't mean to be nasty and all, but the reality is that when the customer/seller base grows exponentially, there will be a saturation point within a short period of time wherein all new members would have to be consumers and be unable to enjoy the full benefits of MLM membership. Simply put, like pyramid schemes, MLMs will eventually cause those at the bottom to suffer. And if the ones at the bottom give out, the entire scheme would eventually shrink if not collapse, just like a pyramid scheme. The only benefit is that those involved with MLMs need not fear that the company is fly-by-night. They tend to make some effort to stay reputable.

I think my mood's spoilt for quite a while, so I don't think I'd be writing happy stuff for awhile. Ugh.
